     Here is a detailed explanation of how and why I use Mastodon, how to follow me and other thread posters by configuring your own filters, where to get my material on other services or in machine readable form, Etc. if you don't like threads, I encourage you to unfollow me and get my work in some other way. https://pluralistic.net/2023/04/16/how-to-make-the-least-worst-mastodon-threads/

     As I've said here before, I:

     * post to scratch my itch, and

     * believe foursquare in your right to both read and post in ways that scratch your itch, and

     * provide the legal and technological means for you to scratch your itch with my posts, but

     * I draw the line at not scratching my itch in order to scratch yours.

     I love constructive feedback.

     "Constructive feedback" isn't "I would prefer that you do things in a different way because that is my preference," however.

     I'm fully aware that other people have preferences that are different from mine.

     That's why I do 2-3/hours per day of unpaid administrative work to ensure that everything I post is available in other formats (including machine-readable ones) under the most permissive CC license.

     @pluralistic @jorgecandeias @codinghorror I really don't get his problem. I almost *never* read blogs anymore but I love coming across one of your threads and then choosing to read it or skip it. Actually, I dont think I've ever gone to the long-form link you provide, and just stick to my phones mastodon client.

     And... "considered blogging?" Is he that clueless?

     @pluralistic @codinghorror I've come to believe some folks around here just find you way too itchy. 😂

     @jorgecandeias @codinghorror Sounds like those people shouldn't be following me!
